Mint Tingle

The Mint Tingle is a refreshing cocktail that combines the robust character of export strength gin with the crisp, invigorating essence of peppermint. This drink is crafted with 1 ounce of gin, which provides a solid foundation of botanicals, and is balanced by 2 to 4 ounces of Metromint Peppermint Water, offering a distinct cooling sensation. The drink is completed with a garnish of fresh mint, enhancing the aromatic profile and adding a vibrant green touch. The Mint Tingle is perfect for those who enjoy a clean, refreshing drink with a pronounced minty finish, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or festive gatherings.

The Mint Tingle is a modern creation that draws inspiration from the classic gin and tonic but with a unique twist. While traditional gin cocktails often emphasize citrus or herbal notes, the Mint Tingle stands out with its focus on peppermint, a flavor that isn't commonly associated with gin. This innovative combination appeals to those seeking a departure from conventional flavors, offering a cocktail experience that's both familiar and novel. Though it doesn't have a long history, its inventive use of ingredients and refreshing profile have quickly made it a favorite among contemporary cocktail enthusiasts.
